Autoscribe spells/skills?

[AndMetal]

Just as an example, I would assume this would scribe all of your spells to the current level when you level up:

quests/template/player.pl

sub EVENT_LEVEL_UP {
	quest::scribespells();
}

The hard part about learning skills is easily finding out what the values should be set to. You could probably pull the skill levels from the database into an array, then do a foreach to change all of the skills. I think this would, as a result, give you the skills that you have to normally train, but I'm not 100% sure. On top of that, I'm not sure how/if you can directly query the DB like that with Perl without modifying the source.

The problem seems...that scribe() puts the spells in a random, jumbled order (maybe by spell ID?)..............

That is correct. This is a partial dump from one character's spells list (from the profile blob) after using scribespells():

    [spell_book] => Array
        (
            [1] => 9
            [2] => 12
            [3] => 15
            [4] => 17
            [5] => 31
            [6] => 32
            [7] => 35
            [8] => 36
            [9] => 39
            [10] => 40
            [11] => 42
            [12] => 46
            [13] => 48
            [14] => 49
            [15] => 50
            [16] => 60
            [17] => 61
            [18] => 62
            [19] => 63
            [20] => 64
            [21] => 75
            [22] => 79
            [23] => 86
            [24] => 93
            [25] => 95
            [26] => 96
            [27] => 98
            [28] => 110
            [29] => 111
            [30] => 112
            [31] => 131
            [32] => 132
            [33] => 133
            [34] => 134
            [35] => 144
            [36] => 145
            [37] => 146
            [38] => 147
            [39] => 148
            [40] => 149
            [41] => 150
            [42] => 151
            [43] => 152
            [44] => 153
            [45] => 154
            [46] => 155
            [47] => 156
            [48] => 157
            [49] => 158
            [50] => 159

Would it be possible to use a quest such as this but still limit what spells the player gets? Reason I ask is on my server I would like to disable the use of the druid/wizard ports for the time being that go to Odus, Kunark, Velious, etc.

Only thing I can think of would be to either somehow edit the spells themselves to not port there, or perhaps have the quest unscribe the spell id's after it scribes all quests?

Might be easier just to limit zone-ins to those zones to those with GM status. Let 'em scribe the spells, just not be able to use them until you open the zones up.

Yeah, that is pretty much the easiest method I found even if it isn't most optimal. I added this as a quest command as quest::setallskillstomax() for automatically training skills to max available for the given level. Which brings me to my question. Would any of you have a need for that really? I had a skill training npc on my server. If anyone finds it needed, I'll post it.

I try to urge anyone who creates custom or new code to post it in the custom or server code submission threads.

Any code, no matter how small, could be very useful to people when they need it
